Aquifer thickness in Gippsland

Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.

This is a geodatabase of ESRI rasters representing the calibrated surfaces of the 30 identified layers within the Gippsland groundwater model. The layers have a cell size of 400m. Please see associated report or contact the principal investigator for further information.

Purpose

This is a geodatabase of ESRI rasters representing the calibrated surfaces of the 30 identified layers within the Gippsland groundwater model. The layers have a cell size of 400m. Please see associated report or contact the principal investigator for further information.

Dataset History

This is not available. Please contact the principal investigator. Further information may be found in the Gippsland Groundwater Model report (Beverly etal, 2015).

The following is taken from that report:

The model layer structure that define the surfaces that separate overlying hydrogeological units, and the initial attribution of these layers, were based on a combination of (1) stratigraphic mapping and interpretation (see Appendix G), (2) the Victorian Aquifer Framework (VAF) (SKM, 2011b; GHD, 2012a), (3) the DPI Gippsland Basin groundwater model (Beverly et al., 2012), (4) work of Schaeffer (2008), and (5) published maps and cross-sections as reported in previous studies including the ecoMarket model reports and reviews.
